Thank You, League Pass

Thanks to the free preview of NBA League Pass, here is a quick list of players that I need to see more of:

(Note: Free previews are the best idea ever as I am now seriously considering purchasing League Pass for the rest of the season.)

Monta Ellis just like Leandro Barbosa, but without the jumper. He throws down fierce and has crazy reach. Game winner last night.

Andres Biedrins if he played for a coach that actually cared about defense (Avery Johnson, Scott Skiles, Gregg Popovich), he'd end up on the All-Defensive teams in about a season. Quick, long, and knows where to be. I like this fellow.

Deron Williams was he this good at Illinois? No matter how much weight he loses, I'll always see his as chubby, but dude is TOUGH. I don't remember him shooting or passing this well, and I saw him play a ton of games while he was at U of I.

Hakim Warrick after that championship season at Syracuse, he kind of fell off for a while, but I keep happening to catch the Grizz on League Pass and every time he's swatting shots out of the air, just like back in the day. Reminds me a lot of Tyrus Thomas, so if the Bulls have to give up Tyrus to get Warrick and Gasol that wouldn't be a bad move.

Pau Gasol I don't get how he is a dominant post scorer. He has to be the least physical, least athletic big man to average 20 and 10. I don't think he jumps more than 6 inches off the floor on his post shots. He (and his beard) is fascinating. Nonetheless, if the Bulls don't have to give up too much to get him, he'd be a perfect addition.

the Suns I cannot stop watching this team. Firing up the DVR for their games is a must.
